Question

B 

     The police in Tokyo,Japan,are looking for an animal. But don't worry. It is not dangerous. The Tokyo Sea Life Park announced that a one-year-old penguin had got out of its home at the zoo. The penguin's escape was a success at first,until a director of a zoo near the Park noticed it swimming in the Old Edogawa River. The director sent a photo to the penguin's keepers (饲养员) at the Tokyo Sea Life Park by e-mail. Then they quickly realized that one of their 135 penguins was missing.

     The park officials said the two-foot^-tall bird didn't fly out of the zoo,because penguins can't fly,but the details about how it escaped are not clear. It was possible that the penguin climbed to the top of a stone wall which was higher than itself. “Sometimes an animal has‘ explosive’ power when it is scared by something. Maybe it ran up the wall after being surprised”’ the zoo official,Takashi Sugino,told reporters. “Or maybe it simply thought the fish would be tastier on the other side of the wall.

     The park is now asking the public to help look for the penguin. But the park officials ask the public not to catch it. “We are sorry that we have caused trouble to the local people ,” a notice posted in the park says. Although the penguin will not hurt humans,please call us if you see it. Don’t try to catch it. ”

    Up till now,eight people have reported that they have seen the penguin. But the search continues. “We believe we can catch it ,” Sugino says. ^uWe believe it is still in our neighborhood and that it has found a place to sleep in. ”
